Quick shoutout to for their continued support of Soundscape Collective’s residency program! They’ve been with us since the beginning and we couldn’t be more stoked to partner with a group of folks whose amazing venue has quickly become a confluence of music, entertainment, food, and beer in Denver. If you haven’t paid them a visit, better put that on the ol’ to-do list this Holiday season!

Wes Watkins (Wes Watkins]) exudes creativity. His artistry is as colorful and bold as the paint from the mural that depicts him on a building wall in Denver. While being a musician that wears many hats (literally and figuratively speaking), Wes’ heartfelt authenticity embodies each note he creates, regardless of how it was created. We’re over the moon to let his creativity blossom on ’ picturesque Zappa Ranch during our music residency!
Swing by and follow Wes Watkins] to explore his music and check his live performance!

Anna Morsett () of The Still Tide (The Still Tide]) has been one of our favorite singer/songwriters/musicians/kind-hearted humans ever since her sails caught the winds that, lucky for all of us, brought her to Denver. Anna's music has a unique & beautiful duality - it can be vulnerable yet fierce - breaking your heart while enticing you to dance under a disco ball bowl of stars. Anna's talent knows no bounds and we can't wait for her creativity to run free during our music residency at the Zapata Ranch!
If you haven't already (and if you have, do it again!) check out The Still Tide] for upcoming shows and a plethora of sweet tunes!

Excited to offer a closer look into Soundscape Collective’s mission, work, and our first Ranchlands adventure!
The stars aligned and we were fortunate to have Inaiah Lujan, Jesse Elliott, and YaSi as our test subjects for this first residency “experiment.” A lot of fun was had & music created with lessons o’ plenty learned along the way. Looking forward to what 2021 has in store! It’s sure to include a familiar cast of characters: music, experimentation, collaboration, community, and the open road.
One more round of applause for these fine folks...
Special thanks to our gracious hosts, Ranchlands at Chico Basin Ranch.

Cheers to Arcadian Pictures for knocking this video project out of the park.
